A. Hello, every baby is an individual so it’s difficult to say when exactly she will start sleeping better at night, -Offer a good amount of feed right before you go to bed. -Try to encourage your baby to eat more during the daytime. Because more he eats in daytime, lesser hungry will he be at night. -give massage n bath, singing songs, changing nappies; massaging etc that can make it clear to child that night is for sleeping. -Teach your baby on how to differentiate between night and day. -Make sure that you keep your room dark at night. Even if baby wakes up for feeding, do not switch on the lights and use the dim night lamps only.
